MY AUNT TERRIE'S FAMOUS HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS (BEST EVER!)

Steps:

• In a heat-proof bowl, melt 1 stick of the butter in the microwave and allow it to cool.
• Add 1/4 cup warm (not hot) water, the yeast, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a small bowl and stir slightly with fork. Set aside to proof.
• In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, put 3 cups of the flour with the salt, eggs (preferably at room temperature), 1 cup warm (not hot) water, 1 cup sugar, and the cooled melted butter. Mix well.
• Add the yeast mixture and gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour and keep beating. Cook's Note: You may not need the whole 5 cups of flour; the stickier (not runny) the dough, the lighter the rolls.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl and pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the dough. Cover with a plate and let rise, at least double or more its original size, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• After the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it a little. Roll out the dough about 1/4-inch thick (or thinner). Let the dough rest a few minutes while you melt the other stick of butter. Use a cookie cutter and cut out rolls. Dip each roll in melted butter, fold in half and put them on a sheet pan. Arrange them close together, filling up the pan.
• Bake until nice and brown. Ovens vary, so maybe about 20 minutes.
• Take the pan out of oven and immediately brush the rolls with butter. Transfer them to a serving dish and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, yeast and salt.
• In a small saucepan, using a candy thermometer, heat the milk, water and butter to 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. Add to dry ingredients. With an electric blender, beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add 2 eggs and beat on high speed for an additional 2 minutes. Gradually stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic. (Kneading is a necessary step to ensure that bread dough rises properly.) Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top end of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour). TIP: I heat the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 minute, turn off oven, and place the dough inside the oven to rise. (Don't forget to turn OFF the oven.).
• Punch down dough in the bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 24 portions and shape into balls. Divide the balls between 2 greased 13-inch x 9-inch baking pans. OR, on one muffin tin, place 2 shaped balls next to each other into each greased muffin cup to make 12 rolls.
• Cover with a clean, lightweight towel and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Brush with lightly beaten egg white and sprinkle rolls with the topping of your choice (or all 3!),.
• Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes or until gold brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

HOMEMADE BUTTERY DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar and active yeast. Set aside 5 minutes; mixture should be bubbly. In a large bowl or mixer, combine milk, egg, oil, remaining sugar and salt and mix together. Once yeast mixture has bubbled up, add that to the mixing bowl. Gradually add flour to the dough mixture, beating on low speed. Dough should begin to come together. Drizzle melted butter in and beat at medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes. Continue to knead until the dough comes together into a sticky, elastic ball. Turn dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and place in a warm, draft-free place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size. Gently transfer dough onto a smooth, lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. [If not making immediately, freeze rolls at this point.] Roll into balls, but slightly flatten one side and place it in a 9x13-inch baking dish that's been lined with non-stick sprayed parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375º F. Set baking dish aside for another 45-60 minutes in a warm, draft-free place. Optional: melt extra butter and brush it over the tops of the rolls. Place rolls in oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and lift parchment paper out of baking dish, transferring rolls to a wire rack to cool.

HOMEMADE DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• We're going to start with mixing together the yeast and WARM water for these delicious rolls.
• While the WARM water and yeast are dissolving, we're going to mix together the milk and butter in a glass measuring cup and pop it in the microwave for one minute to WARM the milk and melt the butter. In the meantime we're going to throw in (to the yeast mixture): the beaten egg, the sugar, the salt, and 1 cup of flour.
• Now add the WARM milk / butter mixture into the yeast mixture. It can't be piping hot, so let it cool to warm before adding, otherwise you will kill the yeast. Give that a mix, and then add the second cup of flour (Switch to using a spatula to mix the dough now) Give that a mix, and add the third cup of flour and that will form a wet, sticky dough, but it should be dry enough to scrap out on to the cutting board to begin to knead.
• On a floured board, we're going to plop down the dough and we're going to work that for about 6-7 minutes. We're only going to add flour in when the dough gets too sticky to knead. So make sure your hands are floured, and work that using the old kneading method - half turns and push it with your palm.
• Knead that until you have a smooth and elastic, but still soft and slightly sticky dough. Don't work too much flour into the dough, only add it if it gets to sticky to work with. So knead it until it gets to this point - this is what I mean by elastic, see how it springs back. Form that into a nice smooth ball.
• In a mixing bowl, add the vegetable oil, throw in the dough and make sure it's coated with oil so it doesn't dry out. Cover with a towel and let it rise, in a warn spot, until double in size. It should take about an hour to an hour and a half.
• After it doubles, throw it on a lightly floured cutting board, and pat it down with your hands. Form it into a square shape. Then take a knife and cut it into 12 pieces (or how ever many dinner rolls you have scaled the recipe for). Then we're going to shape the rolls, which is very simple. Just take a piece of dough and roll it into a round shape in your palm.
• Now, we're going to put them on the pan, kind of close, about 1 1/2" apart. As they rise and double in size, which will take about 30-45 minutes, they will sort of touch each other and that's what going to give them that great dinner roll shape.
• We're going to bake these at 350 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. And that is one beautiful set of dinner rolls. They even have that traditional touching "pull-apart" quality which I think is pretty cool. And, since these are so easy, I don't buy these at the store anymore. It's just not how I "roll." Anyway, give these a try. Enjoy!
